Re: Missing games from Oric.Org
Here's the two Quizmaster games. They are incorrectly named Quizzmaster 1 and 2 on oric.org and the game files are missing.
Re: Dedal
Give this a try. Unzip the archive and make sure all 4 files are in the same directory. Then attach DEDAL.TAP in Oricutron (Atmos Mode) and CLOAD"". I'll try to make a copy with the files combined but this should work for now.

Re: Missing games from Oric.Org
Plasma Bolt works for me in Oric-1 mode but not Atmos. When the game starts it looks like it has frozen when the music ends but starts again about 5 seconds later!

Re: Missing games from Oric.Org
Just remembered these two games which strangely enough were on a copy of Cassette 50 I bought, presumably an updated version (100% machine code!). They are blatant clones of Invaders and Mushroom Mania, both released by Arcadia Software. Simon Phillips is credited as the author which makes me wonder...

Re: Missing games from Oric.Org
Two more to finish off with today; Tevrog's Kingdom II and Quest for Power. A rare commercial release, both games came together and are written in BASIC, not unlike the early IJK double releases. They are listed on oric.org but no files exist.

Re: Missing games from Oric.Org
That is really great Dave! Can't believe you re-typed a MC program with bugs and hard to read text. Incredible. Thanks so much! No worries, I actually enjoy it (yes I'm weird!). Here's Revenge of the Beans, typed in from the final issue of Oric Owner Magazine. Another MC game. I'm trying to find ga...

Re: Missing games from Oric.Org
Next up is Destroyer, a machine code game published in Your Computer Magazine. A version used to exist online somewhere but was bugged so I re-typed in the game and corrected any errors due to the hard to read code.

Re: Missing games from Oric.Org
YINYANG gets as far as putting up a bunch of character graphics on the screen, redefining the charset, and flashing "attendez 300 s" on the screen .. forever. Tried it on both Oric-1 and Atmos configurations, same result. Load the game in Atmos mode. After 5 minutes (less if you press F6 ...

Re: Oric tapes not in TOSEC
Thanks - I did find it after a search. I couldn't find Oric tapes though.It doesn't seem a very easy site to find things. Gamebase has the problem of not labelling the software house, so you have different version of things like Invaders and aren't sure which is which. And it just has games. Hi Ste...

Re: Adventure Games and Solutions, Help needed !
Psycho 3 definitely exists since it was added to oric.org within the last year or so.

Re: Missing games from Oric.Org
OK here's one more for tonight. It's "Yin-Yang", a large type-in published in Hebdogiciel. There is a version online but it is full of bugs. I spent ages correcting the data errors for the game's graphics so this should hopefully be fully playable now.

Re: Missing games from Oric.Org
Here's "Orical Invaders" from Domere Software. This is one I transferred myself from tape several years ago. The game is listed but no game file exists.
Also I have "Cupid Bounces Back", another machine code type-in game.

Re: Adventure Games and Solutions, Help needed !
Thanks for letting me know! I kinda enjoy typing games in; reminds me of my childhood but It's good that I don't need to now.

Missing games from Oric.Org
I've noticed that there are quite a few games either not listed at all on Oric.Org or with game files missing. I have dozens, if not hundreds of the missing games in either TAP or DSK format. I am very happy to share them on here if anyone wants to add them or just download them to play. Starting wi...
